Switch? What switch?

Although Congress voted to postpone the DTV switch to June 12, already 40% of TV stations in the nation have made the switch to digital.

Because the bill was delayed (President Obama has yet to sign it), TV stations had the option of switching to digital on the planned February 17th date rather than wait until June, which 681 stations decided to take advantage of. The reason? The stations say they spent millions of dollars educating viewers and preparing them for the date, so they'd rather go through with the switch than put it off another few months.
